Press Release Summary = New Medical Alert Systems will not only summon help, but send your medical information to the ER as well.
Press Release Body = "Help, I've fallen, and I can't get up!" We all recall this poor, helpless lady who used her medical alert system to summon help in the time of need. Fortunately, she was able to receive help from an ambulance, and be transported to the hospital. But what happened to this frazzled woman when she arrived at the emergency room and was asked to recall her entire medical history, including medications? MedScope America Corporation is a company that has an answer to this question.
MedScope offers the medical alert system, and takes it one step further, by making customer's medical information available online during an emergency.
The process is simple. Once a customer signs up for the medical alert system, they gain access to the Medical-Data Service. They can simply fill out the online form and print an ID card directly from MedScope's website. By showing this ID card, physicians can log-in to view the patient's complete medical profile. In an emergency situation, this service provides a patient's complete medical profile within seconds, avoiding medical errors that are caused due to lack of information.
MedScope's Medical-Data Service is included (free of charge) with a customer's medical alert system. The Medical-Data Service was developed to assist in expediting treatment to patients in the midst of a medical emergency. All online information is fully encrypted and HIPAA compliant. A customer can log into their own information and make changes and updates as frequently as they wish.
The Medical-Data Service is especially beneficial when a patient is unable to communicate, or when a knowledgeable family member is unavailable. This service fulfills a need for many older adults in our communities, especially those who live alone or whose children live out of town. Through the use of the Internet, it can provide coverage for anyone, anywhere in the country.
Even newer to date, is the development of MedScope's "Adaptive Technology". Their latest undertaking has made the medical alert system available to individuals with physical disabilities and impairments. An assortment of specialized buttons, switches, and clamps allow MedScope's to create custom-made transmitters to suit anyone's needs. As an example, a person with limited function can still benefit from an alert system by using MedScope's Sip 'N Puff Activator, which is a tube that clips onto one's shirt or wheelchair. The consumer can simply turn their head and blow into the tube to activate the alert system.
All equipment is loaned at no charge (Adaptive Technology fees may apply). The Data-Service is offered free of charge to all MedScope customers. There are no shipping or setup fees for equipment. There are no long-term contracts. The only cost incurred is a monthly monitoring fee of $35.
